This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads - eviltoast

Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?

Even allowing people to follow that account?

Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

    This is the moment the account is made. Even if the other person doesn’t respond or has even created an account. That’s how they are driving up their numbers.

    So long as you have an account you could potentially have a Threads account without your knowledge.

    Meta is 100% artificially working the accounts.
